;Ver 7 Sep 09 (NOTE TO SELF: remember this is a "for demo" file..
;    Edit carefully, if at all.)
;
;This file shows how MGA11 could help you prepare for the
;   written test to pass the FAA's private pilot licence.
;
;A more extensive question set is in preparation for someone
;   who is serious about passing that test. (Not free, I fear!)
;
;It will work either way, but I would suggest that you set the
;   program to display 3 true phrases, leaving you to ID the
;   false, wrong, phrase. You want to see true things, not false!
;
;A little bit of "learning for the test" will probably be  
;necessary, but where it is, the questions were designed to
;drill into you useful information along the way.
